Pedro was a very good host at the studio, he was there to greet us on time and also helped us initially with showing us the places to go. Especially as a young couple we wanted to know the places to be in the city, he quickly showed us on a map he already had for us. Even with some issues in the bathroom & wifi which he made us fully aware of, the stay was extremely pleasant.

The neighbourhood of the studio was fantastic, it was within 2 minutes to the local supermarket and the city centre for shopping was only 5 minutes away. The beach was a little further but with all the shops on the way felt like no time.

Overall I would highly recommend to stay here, we fully enjoyed our holiday and look forward to coming back in the future.

Soho is a lovely little flat that has all you need for holidays. The sofa bed is big and comfortable. The only thing we found missing was a full length mirror to admire our tan in. The location of the flat is great - close to both the beach and city center - but at the same time it's quiet. Our host was very helpful providing a map with useful spots (shops, cafes and restaurants) and recommending a guided tour of Malaga.

The only problem we had was the freezing water in the sea. Next time we're bringing wetsuits :)

Very fast response time from Pedro on both Wimdu and through cellphone contact. He (or his wife) were always available. Convenient arrangement of taxi from and to the airport, never had to worry about transportation. Quick introduction to the apartment, a quick guide to malaga listed in a bullet point list that Pedro left for us in the apartment. Very close to the city pulse of malaga and the beach but still "local" enough not to feel like a tourist area.

The negative:

Read the Review from "Yvonne" posted on September 2016. It's spot on. In listed form:

1. The apartment floor was really dirty on arrival. We spent 30 minutes mopping the floor. For an apartment listing that has "cleaning" included in the fee it makes you wonder what the definition of cleaning is.

2. The bed sheets were dirty, one of my friends found black hairs in his sheets and he's blonde. The mattresses were also dirty, you could see the stains on them.

3. We were forewarned about the air conditioner leaking a bit of water etc and that we had to wipe the table now and then to avoid water damaging it. What we didn't expect was basically a torrent of water issuing down from the air conditioner. We had to put a bucket under the air conditioner to collect all the water and we emptied the bucket 3 times during our 6 day stay. That shouldn't be an issue given what is charged for the stay.

4. We had to manually kill the safety switch to the stove and oven when not in use as the large hob couldn't be turned of. It automatically went to max as soon as the switch was left on. We had to put a cooking pan with water on the hob just to prevent it from running dry when warming the morning coffee ie.

5. Lastly, and not that big of a deal for me personally, was our little ant problem. We had a train of ants going in between the two bathrooms. For people that dislike ants this could be a problem.

Now I don't mean to be all negative. Personally, we only spent time in the apartment to sleep and shower in between our excursions into the city. We didn't have that high demands in the first place. But the apartment should atleast be clean and have the utilites that you paid for in working order. As it stands I would not rent the apartment again until the issues are fixed.

I would offer a note of caution to those considering booking this apartment : firstly Pedro "the contact"who supplies his picture with friend (which would imply an " attachment" to the apartment) is in fact a property manager for over 140 rentals in the city of Malaga and clearly knew very little about the apartment. Yes he is helpful in advising routes into the old city but beyond that very little else. Secondly the apartment, had not been cleaned, old and stained bed linen ( which Pedro did agree to change) floors covered in dust etc. and the Sun terrace ( interestingly receives very little sun due to the number of surrounding high rise buildings) was covered in bird excrement and lathered in muck and the furniture was stained and imbedded with dirt which looked as though cleaning was not a regular activity. Now Wimdu how do they fair? they don't shine too well in our experience we wanted to complain about the state of the apartment but their response was much delayed and extremely weak ( sort it out with your host! ) so we faced a choice walk out or clean up! so we spend 2 hours cleaning- not the ideal way to start a Holiday. A word on Air conditioning which Wimdu claim the apartment has - well its an old floor- standing noisy old thing which needed the condenser emptied every 2/3 hours and proved to be no match to the searing temperatures of a summer in Spain. lastly I have no idea who reviewed this apartment and have doubts to the authenticity of comments made e.g. someone refers to a bar underneath the apartment selling 100's of beers ! guess what no bars within a mile of the apartment. So fellow travellers BEWARE before booking my comments are genuine - lets see if they are published.

The appartement is new en perfect for two persons. Good shower and good airco. It's right around the corner at Placa de la Merced and also very quied. The café beneath sels beers from all over the world. We had a great time in Malaga with good tips from Pedro! Great place to stay. Best location!
